in deutscher SpracheAt the beginning we will present the study commissioned by the Austrian Council on Research and Technology Development, Taking stock of and positioning Austria s international R&D programmes .
Against this background a network analysis will follow defining important success factors for positioning Austria in the international knowledge area. The discussion will focus on the balance between a target-oriented concentration of activities and an avoidance of niche opportunities that appear attractive only superficially in the context of the highly dynamic global internationalisation of RTD.
